I just recently found this new board. It is much better than the old one.
 
I have been playing bass for 24 years now and finaly bought an Alembic last year. It is an Excel 4 with a second pick-up. I absolutely love it! My poor Fender of 20 years is now designated to it's case along with my custom(Warmoth neck and body and Khaler tremolo). It is really great to find this board.
